Why is Workplace Safety Training Important?
According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, an employer-reported nonfatal injury or illness occurred at 2.8 cases per 100 workers in 2018. However, it was reported to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that 5,147 workers died on the job in 2017. In order to protect future workers from serious injury or death, companies have turned to Workplace Safety Training courses to keep their employees safe.
How We Can Help
We work with both educational and industrial partners to provide the training tools for their programs. Career & Technical Education and company training programs use our virtual reality and hands-on systems to allow learners to review safety concepts in a safe environment.
Amatrol’s FaultPro computer-based fault insertion software is the industry’s only electronic troubleshooting training system.

All products listed were developed in partnership with the FANUC America Education Group and are sold exclusively through the FANUC Education Reseller Network . They carry the industry training curriculum of key manufacturers like FANUC America , Rockwell Automation , and Miller Welding .
High School Training: Years ago, we founded a state-of-the-art high school training center where we opened our doors to high school students from surrounding schools to learn the nuts and bolts of manufacturing. We lead them through coursework and hands-on learning designed to open their eyes to the opportunities they have in industry after school.
Apprenticeship Program: Students who graduate from these programs must enroll in an apprenticeship program to continue employment, where they go through a two- or four-year program, fully paid, working during the day and continuing school at a community college at night. This has proven to be a phenomenal approach to education, developed over time based on the need for workforce development. The key to this is the partnership that has come between industry and education. We believe this partnership is vital to changing industry and solving the workforce development problem as America moves forward.
It was through this partnership with education, as well as our relationship with FANUC Education, that we realized the gap in the market for trainers and curriculum. Colleges are using equipment to teach industrial systems that doesn’t match what a student will see upon graduation. Students aren’t able to get exposed to real-world industrial equipment in school, because it doesn’t exist. What does exist is watered-down trainers with and curriculum. America needs an industry-level curriculum, taught on industry-level equipment so that students are prepared for the workforce when they leave the classroom.
Our trainers were developed in partnership with FANUC America education, and are sold exclusively through the FANUC Education Reseller Network. They carry the industry training curriculum of key manufacturers like FANUC America, Rockwell Automation, and Miller Welding. These partnerships are critical to maintaining high-caliber trainers that model industry standards.
